Chapter 39: Adorably Perfect—Everyone Loves Me!
As the two walked away, Sheng Chao’s genial smile gradually darkened. His gaze lingered on Shi Qingqing’s retreating figure, as sharp and predatory as an eagle watching its prey.

School ended at half past five in the afternoon.
Zhang Little Rabbit always rushed home after school to help with chores. Each day, she dashed off as soon as the bell rang, but Shi Qingqing was in no hurry. She waited leisurely until the classroom had emptied.
Only then did she unlock her phone.
Exactly eight hours had passed—her phone maintenance was complete.
“Beep! System level 2 initialization maintenance completed. The red envelope grab radius has been increased from 100 meters to 500 meters. New filtering feature added: groups can now be sorted and searched by maximum or minimum red envelope amount…”
Shi Qingqing’s eyes sparkled! Was she seeing things?
Not only had the radius increased to 500 meters, but there was a filtering function as well. Sorting by largest red envelope group meant the search would prioritize groups nearby with the biggest rewards.
With this feature, everything became so much easier. There were so many groups giving out red envelopes at the same time; if she relied on random searches, she might stumble upon small envelopes and miss out on the big ones.
It was like picking up a sesame seed and dropping a watermelon—a classic mistake.
Take last time in the city park… The Four Young Masters’ Wealth Group. If a small envelope group had been active then and she’d entered it first, she’d definitely have missed out on the Four Young Masters’ group.
Come to think of it, the thousand yuan she grabbed last time was sent by Zhan Su, her very first major red envelope benefactor—her golden sponsor!
Without him, she wouldn’t have had money for medicine.
Too bad he’s a neat-freak jerk…

He’s not just a neat-freak jerk—he’s a neurotic one!
Something must be wrong with his head if he wants her to be his maid!
Could it be that he’s a masochist, inviting her to bump into him ten times a day?
Did he enjoy the thrill of being bumped, or perhaps the pleasure of artificial resuscitation?
Damn it, just thinking about it feels so bizarre and twisted…
No, better not dwell on it.
Back to the main point: searching by red envelope amount… From now on, the rewards she could grab would only grow.
Her road to becoming a wealthy beauty was growing wider by the day.
Perfect!
That’s exactly it!
Wow! The phone’s appearance seemed to have changed again—the screen was bigger!
It had gone from a 3.5-inch screen to a 4-inch one.
At last, it wasn’t as ugly as before.
Hehe…
“Beep! System upgrade reward pending collection!”
Shi Qingqing knew this was the item reward for the system upgrade.

She was filled with anticipation!
Following the prompt, Shi Qingqing tapped into the reward. Once again, a grid appeared like a game inventory, and in the very first slot, an item lay quietly.
“Cute Full Score, Everyone Loves Me!”
What on earth was this? It was almost blinding.
She pressed her finger against it, and a line of annotation appeared.
“Increases host’s charm for five minutes, making the host loved by everyone, turning every encounter into half the effort for twice the result!”
…
Shi Qingqing’s excited heart instantly cooled.
The first reward had been the unbeatable X-ray vision—so flashy. She was hoping for another, something for professional raffles or stone-gambling, as the books suggested—a truly excellent path to wealth…
But this “Cute Full Score, Everyone Loves Me”—what use did it have? Half the effort for twice the result in social interactions, and only for five minutes!
What did she need universal charm for, anyway?
It couldn’t be eaten!
It couldn’t be spent!
